Hawks: T.J. fires back at “dummies on TV”

T.J. Houshmandzadeh might be the top-rated wide receiver in free agency, but it appears that he might not be getting the kinds of offers he was expecting.

He has visited the Seahawks (Friday) and Vikings (Saturday), has an offer on the table to re-sign with the Bengals and reportedly is going to visit the Buccaneers today.

There have been reports that T.J. is seeking a three- or four-year contract that averages $10 million, and some are countering that by saying it’s too much for a 31-year-old possession receiver.

T.J. had this to say yesterday in an interview with the Bengals website: “I’m going to prove to these dummies on TV talking about what I can’t do why they’re not working for an NFL team. I’m a 27-year-old in a 31-year-old body.”
